And lover bring, with great brown eyes.

She gathered in the wealth of her velvet gloom.
And rallied it in with tall back comb.
She crushed the dews with llcr naked fest;
The track tf the sun WAC golden street.
The grass was cool anl Dir was sweet.
The girl gazed up at the rnackerel sky.
And it looked like pattern Lifted high.
But she never dreamed Of angels nigh.
And she spoke ri-ht out: $40 just SEQ therci
